  1. Well, that's cool.

    Any reports on how well it works?

  2. OK, something to consider - MeWe gives you a certain amount of space for image and file storage for free, but charges you storage above that. If your posts are copied over, are your IMAGES copied as well. If you have hundreds of posts and images that can add up to more than expected, if that's the case.

  3. Laura Ess Yes, in marketing terms it's called "Lock In."

  4. John Lewis Well I'm more thinking about unexpected expense. You can have up to 8 GB free, after that you pay. However I might make a new post about storage issues.

  5. Laura Ess Obviously MeWe is searching for a revenue stream from its users. They aren't getting money from other sources (ads)...

    So if it's pay for extra storage or pay for some other perk, but eventually, the goal is to convert free users to a higher tier paying customers at MeWe.

    There's literally no other way for them to stay funded.

  6. John Lewis That's true. You can dodge those charges though, for now, by having less than 8GB of files uploaded. It's worth pointing out that Google has a similar model for storage, though it's less apparent. You can have up to 15 GB for free on Google, but that's for ALL your google services, including GPhoto. After that, they charge at (in Australian $ because that's where I live):

    up to 100 GB - A$2.49/month
    up to 200 GB - A$4.39/month

    Which is a LOT cheaper than MeWe.
